Solve 10divx=2.5div0.8

$$10 \div x=2.5 \div 0.8$$

Solve for x

$$x=3.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$10=x\times \frac{2.5}{0.8}$$

Expand \frac{2.5}{0.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$10=x\times \frac{25}{8}$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times \frac{25}{8}=10$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{8}{25}, the reciprocal of \frac{25}{8}.

$$x=10\times \frac{8}{25}$$

Express 10\times \frac{8}{25} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{10\times 8}{25}$$

Multiply 10 and 8 to get 80.

$$x=\frac{80}{25}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{80}{25} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=\frac{16}{5}$$
